BUFFALO, N.Y. – This afternoon at Silo City, University at
Buffalo architecture students will show off the unique structures
they built on the site as part of a year-long design studio.

Media are invited to attend the exhibit opening/final review,
beginning at 1:30 p.m. today. Media should enter the site from Silo
City Row (Childs Street), off of Ohio Street. See a map at https://goo.gl/maps/32HtYsYzZAU2.

The highly visual project is called “Reflection
Space,” and it involved 105 students in the freshman design
studio in UB’s School of Architecture and Planning. Students
worked in groups, 10 teams in all, to build small structures that
invite the public to experience the grain elevators at Silo City in
a way they previously could not.

“They offer the inhabitant a space to pause and take in
this breathtaking place,” said Karen Tashjian, an adjunct
assistant professor of architecture at UB who led the studio with
Matthew Hume, clinical assistant professor of architecture.

Who: 105 freshman architecture students from the
University at Buffalo, faculty members Karen Tashjian and Matthew
Hume, and approximately 30 guest critics who will offer students
feedback as part of their final review.
